HP Web Jetadmin - Using Proactive Alerts with HP Web Jetadmin

Subscriptions can also be applied to Alerts templates.
Subscribe to alerts
The Create Alerts Subscription wizard can be activated for list
selections of one or more devices, or it can be activated
without list selection (see Figure 6, at right). In the latter case, it
displays the All Devices list or device groups (when selected).
Specify Alerts Subscription Options allows users to choose
either an existing template or one of the subscription types:
General, Supplies, or Critical (see Figure 7, at right). Once the
user has specified either a template or an alerts type, the user
is asked to specify the notification type (not shown) where
Email notification or Logging-only can be chosen. In all
cases, alerts are logged and can be viewed through Alerts
History.
If the user specifies Email notification, the Specify
notification settings pane is displayed (see Figure 8, at
right). Users can specify email recipients as well as the
format of the email notification. The formats include Custom,
Verbose, and Concise, which can also be previewed in this
portion of the wizard.
Select alerts appears when one of the three alerts types was
chosen rather than a pre-configured template (see Figure 7,
on page 9). This displays alerts specific to the alerts type
chosen (such as supplies alerts). The user can select any
combination of available alert events. In the case of supplies
alerts, supply threshold settings are made available (for
more information, see “Supplies alerts adaptive poller” on
page 7).
Select alert threshold appears when using Supplies
alerts (Figure 9). Supplies alerts trigger when a supply
has reached the specified threshold. These trigger only
once and begin to monitor again only when a replenish
event is detected. A replenish event is triggered when
the supply has changed positively by more than
30 percent.
Specify advanced settings always appears following the
setting of General Alerts (see Figure 10, at right). This
pane contains settings that could apply to any one of
the subscription alert events chosen thus far. Count
threshold appears when the Page Count (Advisory) alert
was selected during Select alerts. This polling alert is
triggered when the device has passed the threshold
specified by the user. The alert provides a way to notify
a recipient when a device’s page count has reached or
exceeded a specified value.
Time to ignore duplicate alerts keeps HP Web Jetadmin
from processing duplicate alerts within a time specified
and after the first alert has occurred. This setting is
